Toyota 1G-EThe Toyota 1G-E is a 2.0 L (1,988 cc, 121.3 cu·in) straight-six, natural aspirated four-stroke liquid-cooled internal combustion vertical gasoline engine, manufactured by Toyota from 1984 to 1991.

A 75.0 mm (2.95 in) cylinder bore and 75.0 mm (2.95 in) piston stroke give the 1G-E engine a total of 1,988 cc of displacement. Compression ratio rating is from 9.2:1.

This engine produced 105.0 PS (77 KW; 103.5 HP) at 5,200 rpm of maximum horsepower and 160 Nm (16.32 kg·m; 118.08 ft·lb) at 4,000 rpm of peak torque.

The Toyota 1G-E features:

  • Cast-iron cylinder block
  • Aluminum cylinder head
  • SOHC design (Single belt-driven overhead camshafts)
  • Multi-Point fuel injection
  • Electronic throttle body (3-rd gen.)
  • Forced lubrication system
  • Liquid cooling system
  • Electric starter
